O, Tumbleweed!

4-Dec-2003

O tumbleweed, O tumbleweed
How brownish are your branches
O tumbleweed, O tumbleweed
How brownish are your branches

You roll around the desert sand,
You smash my feet, you bump my hand
O tumbleweed, O tumbleweed
How brownish are your branches

O tumbleweed, O tumbleweed
You surprise me every night
O tumbleweed, O tumbleweed
You surprise me every night

First you roll, and then you fly
And knock the cactus through the sky
O tumbleweed, O tumbleweed
You surprise me every night

O tumbleweed, O tumbleweed
The colors of your burning
O tumbleweed, O tumbleweed
The colors of your burning

My feet, my hand, the cactus bush --
Now I light, because you pushed
O tumbleweed, O tumbleweed
The colors of your burning

O tumbleweed, O tumbleweed
I should have known the cons'quence
O tumbleweed, O tumbleweed
I should have known the cons'quence

I burned you up, and now they've come
Your brothers with their laser guns
O tumbleweed, O tumbleweed
I should have known the cons'quence

O tumbleweed, O tumbleweed
You've killed me posthumously
O tumbleweed, O tumbleweed
You've killed me posthumously

And now I'm dead, kill'd strangely
All that's left, this song, of me.
O tumbleweed, O tumbleweed
You've killed me posthumously

Dashing Through the Sand

5-Dec-2003

dashing through the sand
like a rolling tumbleweed
o'er the dunes we go
laughing at our speed - hahaha

sandals guard our feet
running in this heat
oh what fun to run and sing
a desert song tonight - oh...

tumbleweed, tumbleweed
tumble all the way
much more fun it is to sing
'bout this than bales of hay - hey!
